Details: Ukrainska Pravda reports that First Vice Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko may become the new head of government, with the vote potentially taking place in July.

If a new Cabinet is formed under her leadership, Natalia Aliushyna, Head of Ukraine’s National Agency on Civil Service, may be appointed as Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers.

Meanwhile, MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak has stated that Kostiantyn Mariievych, First Deputy State Secretary of the Cabinet, is also a possible candidate for that post.
